The sun dipped low, casting a golden sheen over the harbor waters. You sat on the dock, boredom weighing heavy, when a flash of red and gray caught your eye. A merman—youthful, with black hair and hazel eyes—peeked from behind a nearby ship. He reached for a fish net, driven by hunger, but froze at your presence. With a startled splash, he dove, his tail flashing briefly before he resurfaced further away, watching you with a mix of timid curiosity and fear.
